53: Officially born, giving the world a shock

Xiao Huohuo had been sitting cross-legged in front of the wu cheng stone for five days.

For five whole days, there was no movement whatsoever.

That stone, which Lu Yuchen had praised as divine, had no special qualities other than being uncomfortably hard.

He had replayed the "Flame Mantra" that his Revered Master had "guided" him to countless times in his mind, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't sense the so-called "Flame Emperor Legacy."

"Could it be... I really am just a Trash?"

"I can't even grasp the Opportunity bestowed by Revered Master?"

In Xiao Huohuo's heart, the unwillingness and self-doubt that had been suppressed for three years once again gnawed at his Dao Heart like a venomous snake.

He remembered the Mount Emei Golden Summit appointment with Cloud Mirage a month later.

One month!

He was only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement Stage now; what could he use to fight Cloud Mirage, who had already joined the Emei Sect?

Was he going to fight with his head?!

Anxiety, anger, powerlessness... various negative emotions almost completely overwhelmed him.

On the sixth day, just as his mind was about to give way and his Dao Heart was on the verge of collapse!

Early morning.

Xiao Huohuo suddenly opened his eyes, and those originally dim eyes now burst forth with a desperate madness!

"Flame Emperor Xiao Yan..."

"Flame Emperor Xiao Yan!"

He muttered to himself, as if possessed.

"Revered Master said I have Karma with him... Karma!"

"I'm not comprehending a Cultivation Technique; I'm not understanding a Legacy!"

"From now on, I am Xiao Yan!"

Boom!

The moment this thought completely took root in his mind!

He was no longer the Xiao Family Trash burdened by humiliation and unwillingness; he was Xiao Yan, who upheld the saying 'Do not bully a young man into poverty,' who rose against all odds, eventually wielded all flames, and achieved the position of Flame Emperor!

An indescribable domineering aura and confidence erupted from the depths of his Soul!

Buzz—!

That ordinary wu cheng stone seemed to sense this will, letting out a faint hum!

Immediately after, a profoundly mysterious supreme Cultivation Technique, the "Flame Mantra," which seemed to contain the mysteries of all flame Origin in the world, surged into his mind like a bursting flood!

At the same time, he also seemed to have an innate mastery of the two Great Dao of Artifact Refining and Alchemy, with countless inspirations and methods quietly emerging in his mind.

It worked!

...

Inside the Sect Master's main hall, Lu Yuchen, who was leisurely resting with his legs crossed, curved his lips into a satisfied smile.

"Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Xiao Huohuo has successfully embodied the character of 'Flame Emperor Xiao Yan' and forcibly comprehended the basics of the "Flame Mantra" with supreme will!"

"Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Xiao Huohuo, in an Epiphany, has caught a glimpse of the 'Artifact Refining Dao' and 'Alchemy Dao'!"

"Triggering Tenfold Return!"

"Host gains: Supreme Immortal Scripture "Chaos Nine Yang Scripture"! Artifact Dao comprehension, Alchemy Dao comprehension! (Only comprehension, no methods)"

"The "Chaos Nine Yang Scripture" has automatically Cultivated to Minor Achievement Realm!"

Boom!

Lu Yuchen felt a sudden tremor in the Golden Core within him, and a terrifying torrent of extremely rigid and pure Yang energy, capable of incinerating all heavens, surged in from nowhere!

His cultivation, which had just entered the fourth level of the Golden Core Stage, instantly loosened its Bottleneck, showing signs of another Breakthrough!

And in his mind, countless profound knowledge about Artifact Refining and Alchemy appeared, as if a supreme Grandmaster who had been immersed in these Dao for hundreds of millions of years had imparted all his lifelong insights to him. The problem is there is only comprehension and no methods, what to do? Let's talk about it next time.

"Not bad, not bad, this kid didn't disappoint me."

Lu Yuchen nodded with satisfaction; this wave of return was a huge profit!

With a flicker of his figure, he appeared before the wu cheng stone.

Looking at Xiao Huohuo, who was still immersed in Epiphany and whose aura was steadily rising, Lu Yuchen flicked his finger.

The pale blue abnormal flame that he had suppressed for more than ten days transformed into a streak of light, hovering in front of Xiao Huohuo.

"Disciple, this is a Heaven and Earth Abnormal Flame. Today, your Revered Master will lend you a hand!"

As his voice fell.

Xiao Huohuo seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes!

When he saw the abnormal flame emitting terrifying high temperatures, there was no fear in his eyes, but rather extreme longing and... greed!

"Flame Mantra, Refine!"

Without thinking, he immediately sat cross-legged, and the "Flame Mantra" roared into operation!

The recently Awakened "Endless Flame Body" erupted with unimaginable power at this moment!

The pale blue abnormal flame, without even a hint of resistance, was forcibly pulled into Xiao Huohuo's body by an overwhelmingly domineering suction force!

"Ah—!"

Even with the Endless Flame Body, the terrifying high temperature that could burn everything still made Xiao Huohuo let out a painful roar!

But he still gritted his teeth, frantically operating the "Flame Mantra" to refine the violent energy!

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

When the dawn of the fourth day arrived, the terrifying scorching aura in the back mountain finally slowly subsided.

Xiao Huohuo succeeded!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the Qi Refinement Stage, erupted from his body, rising steadily!

He broke through from the eighth level of Qi Refinement all the way to Foundation Establishment, and he didn't stop.

First level of Foundation Establishment!

Second level of Foundation Establishment!

...

Fifth level of Foundation Establishment!

With the immense energy from refining the abnormal flame, his cultivation soared like a rocket, breaking through 6 Realms directly to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!

He surpassed Lin Fan and Nanny in one fell swoop, becoming the highest Cultivation among the Personal Disciples of Tai Xuan Immortal Sect today!

"Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Xiao Huohuo has successfully refined the abnormal flame, and his Cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!"

"Triggering Tenfold Return!"

"Host gains: Cultivation increase! Fifth level of Golden Core Stage!"

"Good! Very good!"

Lu Yuchen felt the surging magical power in his body again, and his heart was filled with comfort.

He let out a long laugh, his voice not loud, but it spread throughout the entire Tai Xuan Immortal Sect.

"All Disciples, quickly gather at the main hall!"

...

A moment later.

Tai Xuan Immortal Sect's main hall.

Lin Fan, Ling Ke'er, Lu Nuannuan, Xiao Huohuo, Qin Jiu, and the dozens of Outer Sect Disciples were all present, standing respectfully below the platform.

Lu Yuchen sat high on the Sect Master's throne, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone, an imposing aura of authority radiating naturally without anger.

"In a greenhouse, towering trees cannot grow."

He spoke slowly, his voice calm, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"You all have joined my Tai Xuan Immortal Sect to Cultivate the Heaven-Defying Immortal Dao and seek eternal life. Without a Dao Heart that has endured hardships and is unyielding, you will ultimately fail to achieve greatness."

"From today onwards, I command you all to descend the mountain and enter the Mortal World for experience!"

"Unless it's a matter of life and death, I will not intervene."

"Your lives and Opportunities are entirely up to yourselves."

At these words, everyone below the platform had varied expressions.

In Lin Fan's and Xiao Huohuo's eyes, there was a burning Battle Intent and longing.

Ling Ke'er's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, deep in thought.

Nanny, on the other hand, pouted her small mouth, a little unwilling, but as soon as she thought of all the delicious food down the mountain, her face immediately lit up with a smile.

Only the Outer Sect Disciples felt uneasy.

"On this journey, Personal Disciples must each choose a Dynasty and gain experience alone, without forming groups."

Lu Yuchen's voice was beyond doubt.

"Lin Fan, you carry a deep-seated vendetta, and your Karma with the Great Chu Dynasty is not yet settled. Stay in Great Chu and resolve this grievance."

"Disciple obeys!" Lin Fan nodded heavily.

"Ling Ke'er, you were once a princess of the Northern Plains, but the past is like fleeting clouds. On this trip, you shall go to the most prosperous Great Tang Dynasty to experience the Mortal World and temper your state of mind."

"Disciple understands!" Ling Ke'er respectfully responded.

"Xiao Huohuo, you have a one-month appointment with Cloud Mirage. One month later, you may go to the Mount Emei Golden Summit to fulfill your battle agreement. In the meantime, you shall go to the Great Ming Dynasty to seek your Opportunity."

"Yes, Revered Master!" Xiao Huohuo's eyes were filled with confidence.

"As for Nanny..." Lu Yuchen looked at his most beloved second Disciple, "Qin Jiu will accompany her to the Great Qing Dynasty."

"The rest of the Outer Sect Disciples shall form their own teams and disperse into the Nine Great Dynasties to temper themselves."

"Go."

Lu Yuchen waved his hand.

"Respectfully obey Sect Master (Revered Master)'s order."

Everyone bowed together, then transformed into streaks of light, flying down (those who hadn't reached Foundation Establishment could only run on two legs; how did the recent Douyin saying go? 'We're all together, you're flying in the sky, I'm running on the ground,' utterly despairing.) Tianzhu Peak, heading to their respective battlefields.

Watching their receding figures, Lu Yuchen slowly stood up, a slight 25-degree acute angle curving his lips.

"The Nine Great Dynasties should become lively."

"My Tai Xuan Immortal Sect should also let this world hear our voice."

"Once these matters are settled, it's time to head to the continent on the other side."

On this day, Tai Xuan Immortal Sect officially entered the world!
